Also The Cool Dad in '23 Starter Pack. Right? Right guys? I'm still cool right? The Discman still works!

Buddy, you better believe it. I could do jumping jacks and Avril Lavigne's Skater Boi will still be coming through these headphones loud and clear so long as I don't knock the cable loose from the aux port.

Lol wut? In 96 you'd be listening to return of the mack. In skaterboi era you'd had a studded belt and a trucker hat

My clothing style stopped updating in 96. My music tastes stopped updating in the mid 2000's alt rock era.

That hairstyle! I remember many boybands just like Backstreet Boys and many celebrities having that hairstyle. Wallet chains never really go out of style, I have a bigger and longer one than the one in that picture.

At least it was really hard to lose your wallet

Nice! I might have to get a pair for old-time's sake

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing

[-] Dorgel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Can't even look at the shoes in Europe, how dare I....

Ye gods, the Surge. I can still taste it.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Still sold in Norway, just called Urge there.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I have no idea who's making it, but I still come across random pallets of the stuff in Walmart and the like about twice a year. Always either 12-pack cans or 6-count bottles. Never individual bottles.

Every time I'm tempted to buy some, just to see if this random store in Alabama is offloading product from 2006.

If ur in the U.S. some burger kings have it on tap.

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It's getting cold outside, don't forget your Starter jacket!

I can hear the swooshing

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Starter jacket? This is a finisher jacket!

[-] swab148@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

Replace that album with Less Than Jake's "Anthem" and you're basically me (not that I don't love Rage, I just like ska more)

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

I hated that kid! He wasn’t cool at all!

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah he was an asshole if I remember correctly

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Fuuuuuu... That's me at that time 😐

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I saw a kid with frosted tip. So I pointed him out to a friend and quietly snickered. Then we saw two more, and now I feel old.

The teenage mullet craze the last couple years has driven me crazy. Dont know if that's just a thing around here in the Midwest or not, but it's as ugly and stupid looking now as it was in the 80s. And all the jock teenagers are wearing crocs with tall black socks and matching solid color sweatpants and sweatshirts looking like homeless power rangers. My foster son also wears Ugg slippers like 70% of the time even though he owns like 9 pairs of shoes. Sometimes he steals my house slippers to wear to school too. I don't get it. A couple months ago he looked at some perfectly normal looking plaid button up shirt that I would totally wear and said with disdain "that looks like something you would wear". I gave him the old, "listen here, you little shit...". I think I'm officially too old for modern "fashion".

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure I have that yomega at home in my yoyo drawer.

Chicks dig yoyos or that's what I tell myself when I take them out.

Any who don't aren't worth your time.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I'll always remember being mid 20s and the look this girl gave me when I showed up looking like a hip hop punk with a yoyo spinning on dundas and university in Toronto. Needless to say we didn't have another date lol

[-] jeanofthedead@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

This is EXACTLY when I learned I was gay.

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

What, when you looked at that meme?

96' I was 12 and yes. This was like 80% of the kids in school. Also, I feel called out.

To a first grader like me? Super cool.

Forget the Fireball, Brain all the way!

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

How'd we get yo-yo and swing revivals, while prog stayed stone dead?

I stand at the ready. Just waiting for the order to go out.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

How many forces do we have?

Yes.

Hell yeah Arch Linux sneakers

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Not American and never heard of these yomega but I definitely had a couple of these bad boys:

I wonder, did y'all go through a yo-yo craze around the same time?

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I think so, was definitely around 96-98 for me.
